Memorial Day

We were lucky enough to have the Holley's visit us over Memorial Day weekend.  The kids had a blast playing and we did plenty of chatting and hanging out!  We decided to visit the little town of Chesterfield close by us, it has some old original pioneer homes and every year they kick off their tourist season with a memorial day celebration.

 {Not really sure, but I'm guessing LeGrand is throwing up his 'C' for Chesterfield? (although it's backward) wouldn't be LeGrand without a bit of craziness in every photo! And...getting Laexin to pay attention is a whole other issue :)}

We joined in on the lunch of Hamburgers & Hot Dogs, enjoyed us a scone, had some yummy treats from the bake sale, visited the old log store for some penny candies & each of us had a horseshoe nail ring built!

There were lots of fun things happening, handkerchief dolls, butter making, kite flying, an auction & lots of tours of the old buildings.

 The kids even spotted some baby prairie dogs that we caught and held - like many animals, they're pretty cute...when they are little! :)

 {This was right before she started squeezing a bit too tight & that little guy squeaked then bit her good!}

It was a fun day & we loved having the company of our good friends!
